Saint-André de Bourg-Argental church

Highlight • Other

The Saint-André church was built in 844 initially. It was the subject of successive additions until 1840, when it was classified as a historical monument. Its portal is both imposing and graceful. If you are lucky, you can listen to his magnificent organ behind the altar.

Ternay Dam and Lake

Highlight • Lake

Built in 1858 to supply Annonay with drinking water, the Ternay dam now offers a pleasant shaded place where walkers and runners meet.

A pleasant path of about 4 kilometers, called the "Chemin de Ronde", lined with Cedars of Lebanon and a few sequoias goes around this 30-hectare lake.
